Abstract This paper reviews the novel "Brighton Rock" by Graham Greene, a novel about a teen-age criminal gang leader, named Pinkie. The book is part detective story, part psychiatric case study and part moral theology. According to this paper, out of all of Greene's body of work, "Brighton Rock" most reflects the author's ardent commitment to Catholicism. As a convert, Greene's new-found religious foundation in his life permeates this novel, published in 1938. This paper focuses on those elements, in particular the symbolic struggles between good and evil in the story.
From the Paper "Brighton, in this novel, is not the bright seaside resort fancied by many Englishmen before (and after) World War II. We see darkness at night, and even darkness in the morning. There is absolutely no humor in this book. With the characters as they are, humor would reduce them from the prototypes they represent. In fact, when you analyze the two main characters, both the sixteen year old girl and her seventeen year old lover are the most stupid and evil people possible."

Abstract This paper examines how Brighton and Hove (B&H) has built itself a new economy taking advantage of the changes in the UK economy and diversifying into the service sector. It explains how this was done through development, a favourable environment and taking advantage of the highly skilled labour force that moves to the city either to study or because of its attractiveness as modern city. The paper points out that at the same time the city has left its self open to new problems that will have to be addressed by local and central government and that these problems mainly revolve around the existing infrastructure of the area. The paper also notes that in recent years the B&H council seems to be addressing some of these problems with projects such as the new Library and the Black Rock development, but other problems still require attention especially those of housing, the skills gap at the lower level of the jobs market, transport links and suitable business premises, so the economy can expand more.
From the Paper "Brighton and Hove (B&H) is situated in the south east of England within the most prosperous region outside of London, benefiting from this, it has turned it's economy around from unemployment rates as high as 12% during the 80's down to rates of around 2%. In many ways it reflects the changes put on the whole country as it has moved from the industrial base of the 70s towards the providing of services now seen all over western economies. This change while improving the local area and the standards of living for its inhabitants and employees also brings new problems and challenges such as the business cycle, inflation and the risk of unemployment that they may bring and these problems must be met by local and central governments."

This is a review of a 1999 article by G. Shapiro called "Quality and Equality: Building a Virtuous Circle," that appeared in the "Human Resource Management Journal."
Abstract This paper discusses the different theories put forward in Shapiro's 1999 article about "Quality and Equality." Some of the topics discussed in this paper include how companies have failed to move women into positions of management from middle-management and gives details of a study done of the subject. This study was conducted by the Center for Research in Innovation Management at Brighton University and includes research conducted at 14 different companies, that included interviews with all levels of employees. The study illustrates the limitations of the current research approaches and suggestions some ways to improve upon the methods currently in use.
From the Paper "This research was undertaken by the Center for Research in Innovation Management (CENTRIM), based at the University of Brighton. The author notes that many of the approaches undertaken by organizations with these goals in mind could be labeled "liberal" approaches to gender equality. The organizations also vary in terms of how independent or autonomous they are regarded as being from the wider environment. the author cites a number of criticisms of the liberal approach, primarily in terms of how it has failed to move women out of middle management and into a higher role and how women continue to be concentrated in public service and distribution roles and in hotel and catering positions."

From the Paper "Writers often present characters who are out of step with their society, and often this occurs because the values of that society are seen as warped or misguided. Three British novelists have created youthful characters who show a strong reaction against society and authority. Viewed objectively, the youthful characters in Graham Greene's "Brighton Rock", Alan Sillitoe's "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" and Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" might be considered evil or psychologically troubled, but they must also be seen as products of their society, as personalities shaped by the problems of that society and by the warped values the society has come to represent. An analysis of the two novels and one short story shows how the authors address the limitations of their society and the culpability society has in the crimes committed by their youthful ... "

The paper discusses Russian crime families in Brighton Beach, New York and Los Angeles and Miami. The paper also discusses the possible threat the Russian criminal activity may pose to U.S. security interests.
From the Paper "Perhaps if Russia had not lost the Cold War and split into various Republics and had not suffered severe economic problems, there would be little or no organized Russian criminal activity in the U.S. Many came as immigrants willingly accepted by the U.S. as sufferers from Communism. Now the emergence of Russian criminal groups in the United States is this country's fastest growing criminal justice problem. How did these criminals get here? During detente..."
